PRODUCT STORY A terrace legend from our archives returns: The Palermo. The silhouette debuted back in the early '80s, where it quickly became a staple among the terrace crowds in British football stadiums. Like the original, the Palermo is complete with its signature tag at the upper, a T-toe construction, and, of course, the classic gum sole. This version has a leather base with a suede Formstrip and suede overlays.

They look good on me. I bought a pair for myself to wear in Fall 2024. I took them with me when visiting our daughter in college this week and she took them from me after she saw them because she liked them. They’re comfortable and fit well for someone without a very narrow foot as some sneakers seem to be made for. I wore them one time only this week and it was to walk around Washington, DC and I had zero foot pain. Since my daughter took my original pair, I just ordered myself another pair yesterday. I recommend them because they’re cute and comfortable.

So cute . Harder shoe. Fashionable. No arch support . Harder tongue. Runs small but if you have narrow feet that don’t require arch support they are so cute! Unfortunately… I had to return

These are cute but not that comfortable for walking. I walk 30 minutes to and from work, and that was enough to blister my ankles on day 1. I’ve had them a few weeks and they are still very stiff and rub the side of my toes and occasionally my heel. They just aren’t getting any less stiff with wear! I’ve tried thicker and thinner socks, doesn’t matter.I tried on my usual 9 and a 9.5, and the 9 fit best (9.5 was quite long). I’m bummed these aren’t going to work for days when I want to walk a bit.

When I opened the box and laid eyes on my new white Palermo Sneakers with red suede form strip I was amazed at the fresh clean look of the shoes. They look great and trendy and I've received compliments soon as I wore them. Palermo's are definitely a fashion statement with a cool athletic look. I just ordered a Black pair last night. Puma Rocks!!
These fit pretty much true to size (for reference I'm a 7 in Puma Speedcats, 7.5 in Puma Roma, and 7 in these). The soles are very comfortable, but I think the upper may take a bit of time to break in. The only thing I wasn't the biggest fan of were the laces. They are a little thick for my liking and it is a bit difficult to adjust the laces so I just swapped them out with a thinner pair. Overall a very nice, light, comfortable shoe that looks great.
I bought the shoe two weeks ago. Fits well and very comfortable. Read other reviews before purchasing that said it was a narrow shoe and fit small, and recommended buying a half size up. Did that and fits well. I’m a men’s 9 with a wide foot. Bought 9.5. Perfect fit.
Received my Puma Palermo Black just recently. My second pair different color. I love them, the look, style, and history. They're definitely a fashion statement and the fit is very comfortable. PUMA ROCKS!!
Love the way these look, and they’re relatively comfortable as well—though if you have wide feet, I would suggest going up a half size. My main gripes have to do with the quality of the leather used. It feels very plasticky, to the point that the tongue squeaks against the inside of the eyestay with each step. It’s not crazy loud, but it’s enough that I wouldn’t wear these to a museum or anything.
Love the style, but the discomfort is not worth it. I wear a women’s size 7.5 in almost all shoes and got a size 8 in these shoes as they fit smaller. I wore them for 45 minutes to the grocery store and had a blister on my heel when I got home. There is extra padding halfway up the heel of the shoe that was rubbing on my foot every time I stepped. I decided to give them another try (taped up my blister), and walked outside for 3-4 hours. There are certain points on the shoe where my foot was rubbing. The ankle curves are quite high up and my ankle was hitting the side of the shoe. Taking these shoes off and changing to running shoes felt like bliss.
My closet has always been chock full of PUMA shoes, all in size 14. I bought the Palermo in a 14 recently and it was gigantic. I had to tie the laces super tight around my ankle so my feet wouldn't slip.I decided to order a size 13, thinking that newer PUMAs must be running close to a size larger now. But the 13 was toe-crunchingly tight. So I returned them and have had to make do with the 14. They look ridiculous with the laces so close together.PUMA, do better. Or at least make a size 13.5.
